Run time Partially Reconfigurable FPGAs find various applications in the field of Cryptography, Image processing, Network Security, Video streaming etc., because of low power consumption, high density, flexibility and high performance. Further more, the dynamism and true multitasking makes it popular in the area of today’s advanced computing platforms. An powerful operating system is required t...

Considering the challenges of short product life cycles and growing variant diversity, cost minimization and manufacturing flexibility increasingly gain importance to maintain a competitive edge in today’s global and dynamic markets. In this context, an aerodynamic part feeding system for high-speed industrial assembly applications has been developed at the Institute of Production Systems and L...

CiAO is the first operating-system family that has been developed with AOP concepts from the very beginning. By its aspect-aware design and implementation, CiAO reaches excellent configurability, separation of concerns, and low footprints in the resulting systems that outperform leading commercial implementations. CiAO implements the automotive operating-system standard OSEK/AUTOSAR OS and prov...

Execution-driven simulation has become the primary method for evaluating architectural techniques as it facilitates rapid design space exploration without the cost of building prototype hardware. To date, most simulation systems have either focused on the cycle-accurate modeling of user-level code while ignoring operating system and I/O effects, or have modeled complete systems while abstractin...

To think quantitatively about comovement, we specify the model of Section I. We use a CES production function for one final good. 42 Thus, we can solve the structure of this economy in closed form, and quantify its comovement. Our model differs in a series of small ways from 43 Its main virtue is that it is solvable in closed form, so that the mechanisms are fairly transparent.

We propose a radical re-architecture of the traditional operating system storage stack to move the kernel off the data path. Leveraging virtualized I/O hardware for disk and flash storage, most read and write I/O operations go directly to application code. The kernel dynamically allocates extents, manages the virtual to physical binding, and performs name translation. The benefit is to dramatic...

Existing enterprise information technology (IT) systems often inhibit business flexibility, sometimes with dire consequences. In this position paper, I argue that operating system research should be measured, among other things, against our ability to improve the speed at which businesses can change. I describe some of the ways in which businesses need to change rapidly, speculate about why exi...

Various aspects of power system flexibility are evaluated within the multi-country study framework IEA Wind Task 25. Grid components and actions which have been adopted for enhancing in different areas, countries, regions addressed, as well how Transmission System Operators, Independent Utilities intend to manage variable generation their operating strategies. A visual assessment evaluate diver...
